- Smell Dating has been out since 2016. It is the first mail-order smell dating service. Right now their first-round for registration is closed, but people can sign up for the second round.
- It is based on the science of pheromones: the chemical signals that most creatures (including humans) send out to entice mates.
- The shirt cost $25.
- One receives several pieces of t-shirt without any additional information than the smell, not even gender.
- One makes their selection(s) and then are given the contact information of their selected.
I don't negate pheromone science. Perfumes & colognes are based on it. A great smelling man has turned my head a few times. I am not bashful to tell a guy he smells great. Also, I have a male friend whose natural scent made me offer him my very feminine scented deodorant. His girlfriend, at the time, though nothing of him being musty. I also won't even negate the $25 price tag. T-shirts & postage cost money.
Smell Dating nor my source articles, this ONE, this ONE, & this ONE, answered my one burning question, Who can wear a shirt for 72 hours straight without washing their body in between? Not using deodorant is not a problem. I was raised poor. Water & baking soda is a workable thing. Trust Me! But I don't care how long a 3-day weekend of nothing we think it feels like. Chafing is painful, ask babies & old people. Also, random gender-less choosing is unfair. You find out if your choice is a he, she, or they until you see the contact info. I think sex orientation & sexual identity questions should be at least on the t-shirt strip package. Pheromone attraction may be ancient. But I live in the current world, possible bigotry is real. And who wants to pay $25 to find out they know how to sniff out possible new, favorable scented friends in the end? Umm, that's Smell Friending. (I will sue for this idea. Give me my credit.)
I'm not going to say, "a sucker is born every moment" when it comes to people who have & will try to Smell Dating. I don't want to offend. I just won't be the Charms Green Apple Blow Pop. Now, let me bathe and smell clean. Mr. Right may find me in the Offline world, today.

See now that's what I wondered, are they not supposed to bathe? Although I don't really agree with the no deodorant, I was under the impression that the person did bathe and that they didn't actually sleep in the shirt but just wear it morning to night for 3 days... I was already "done" with this by the title of the website but now I am thinking do people really go 3 days without bathing where this wouldn't bother them...and are they willing to be with someone else who was "okay" with not bathing for 3 days? I agree wholeheartedly on the gender reveal, that to me isn't right... and now I am thinking, so do I get to choose which part of the t-shirt? lol, armpit, shoulder, abs, lower back, what part of the shirt am I smelling!!! LMAO. And how do you prevent cross contamination of the smell of the box it's shipped in, or the perfumes or cologne of the person who was cutting the shirt up-- AGAIN SO MANY QUESTIONS!
ReplyDeleteThey wear the shirt for 72 hours straight. No Bathing. Yep, there are people not bathing for at least 3 days, according to my source material. Two seemed rather gung ho about it. One did try to be shamed and apologized to those they had to be around. And if you are wondering, they seem the "salty" kind. *wink*
DeleteI didn't even think about what pieces of shirt one could receive. My node started itching. LoL The box is safe because all pieces are in different baggies.
now, I wonder how long have they been waiting for folks to sign up for Round 2. Because if anyone with sense did research like me, this crud is slowly dying.
